This Castle was built by a baron in the colonial era then bequeathed or sold to the French authorities to be dedicated to the education of children (Primary School of Deux Moulins) in the 1950s. It was a mixed school where both French and Algerians attended this school together and all the teachers were French.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12950 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Deux-Moulins-Castle-2-1-300x296.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Deux-Moulins-Castle-2-1-300x296.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Deux-Moulins-Castle-2-1.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>After independence in 1962, many people came from the countryside to flee misery and settled in Algiers; twenty families have lived illegally in the Castle but a few years ago, the authorities razed all these clandestine dwellers. Since that, it remained completely abandoned and many of its parts collapsed. Frankly speaking, when the night gets dark, the ruins can scare the passersby. According to the inhabitants of the neighborhood who have known this place very well since their earliest childhood, this castle has become during a period of time a haunted house. They said that after dark, the chairs were flying; a superhuman force seemed to be banging against the walls and, according to the witnesses, the clothes of the locals fluttered in the rooms like a horror movie. This anecdote is just one of many examples of rumors circulating on Rais Hamidou&#8217;s Castle. In 1897, &#8220;The Haunted Castle&#8221; film directed by Georges M\u00e9li\u00e8s was released.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12959 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Deux-Moulins-Castle-4-1-221x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Deux-Moulins-Castle-4-1-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Deux-Moulins-Castle-4-1.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>This building undertook a huge campaign of rehabilitation and restoration since it was part of the &#8220;tourism expansion project&#8221;.
